I used this recipe for Thanksgiving of 2012. My first time making or putting the recipe together for yams. I only used the items I need it from this recipe. And, the family enjoyed. It was very tasty.

Candied Yams are supposed to be thick—hence the term "candied". This recipe does not achieve that. They're extremely watery. I don't recommend this recipe at all if a thicker consistency is what you're looking for. If you do make this, you can halve the liquids as well bc it yields far too much to the potato ratio.

yum! will make this again! yes, too much liquid, but i didn't use it all...i saved some and added it to sauteed onions and julienned carrots and sauteed together till carrots were still firm but can pierce with a fork! that was great too! i too topped off my candied yams with mini marshmallows. i like the idea of the pecans or even walnuts, will try next time, tho i'll probably chop them somewhat.

I made this last year and it was a huge hit, even with members if my family who do not usually like candied yams. I add halved pecans for a little added crunch and because it is how I had them growing up. I also add mini marshmallows 5 minutes before it is done so that they are nicely toasted. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I omitted the lemon zest & added some butter. I will agree with everyone else there is way too much liquid. I also did not use as much corn syrup either. I will have to tweak this recipe if I try it again, it's still tasty though.

I made this recipe for Thanksgiving and realized when I got home that the bottle of corn syrup I bought was only 1 1/2 cups and not the 3 cups the recipe called for. Well, thank goodness because it was more than enough. When I stored the leftovers I had to pour lots of liquid down the drain. I would recommend using half the sugar and corn syrup the recipe calls for and maybe less orange juice. You also need to bake it for much longer than 25 minutes even if you make yams slightly undercooked prior. Use all the ingredients and be prepared to have it in the oven for at least 45 minutes. It does taste good, but needs a measurement modification.

I made this recipe today without reading the reviews and it was a big mistake. The taste was very good, but it called for way too much sugar and liquids. The flavor was good, but it had way too much liquid after cooked for the recommended time. If you wanted to try this recipe I would suggest you cut all the ingredients in half except the yams. I hope this helps! :
